outlook express

Hi Guys,trying a new isp called closecall america.Evetything seems to be fine except when i try to send a email i get disconnected.I set up outlook express for this new account,still having problems.Any ideas on what i missed?Running win98 with Ie5.01

 

Does the mail get sent successfully?? Sorry for this but JIC, While in OE..Tools>Options>Connection (tab)>make sure "hang up after sending & receiving" is UNchecked.

 

Hi jwbirdsong,yes the box is uncheched.When i click the send button a message appears saying the email was sent and then i get the disconnnected message.No other problems,i connect and can surf the web,just this one little problem with the email.thanks for the help

 

To isolate the problem , try a simple email client .
If it works , you know it's in OE .

Weird..What OS are you?? Are you trying to use the ISP's mail server or are you trying to send throught another like Yahoo,Hotmail,whatever?? If the latter it may be your new ISP lame attempt at port 25 blocking...Probably not just a random thought......This is a dial-up..yes??

 

Hi guys,thanks for the reply.This is win98 and yes this is being sent from the new isp,and not from yahoo,hotmail,etc.Thing is,am getting email and attachments from friends and everything works fine and when i hit the reply button and send them back a email,i do not get disconnected,it works the way it should.I think it must be a configuration problem because when i hit email on the program,i go to Earthlink mailbox,which i still have on my computer.I have to open IE,first then hit the email button to get to this email.Am waiting for the CD to come,then i'll uninstall,and re-install with that,and see if that works.

Thanks again for the help
